23 Mar If Light Be Hymned

If light be hymned in tune to starlight stream
And words I felt and comprehend to mean
Aspects unfolding worlds alive and true
But might I find the words my own to say
With equal measure what I always knew
And open lines of networks burnished clean
By words of brooding, burning men malpais
Exhort response, invades the mind’s array
But full arrest may shine its seldom sheen
From lips of kissing coals and coral dream
Were aspens ashen, croaks of oak in breezes
Desolations drough of the wilder-wilde
So grand a stair-case in the promise gleam
Hosea thrice in exegesis smiled
Mindful to mirrored myth as staged in friezes
Again in words the grand divine will deem
